Dawn sits on the ground, calmly crushing something in a mortar and pestle.

DAWN

(to the breathing)

I hear you, filth. I know you're

there.

(casually)

Demon filth. I will cast you out.

My mother needs to talk to me.

And she reaches into the potion and flings it off her fingers like a priest scattering holy water-

AN ANIMAL SCREAMS.

And I haven't even started to chant

yet. I learned magicks from a kick-

ass witch.

Something unseen KNOCKS DAWN back against a wall. She recovers fast. Starts chanting:

I cast you from this place. It is

your poison and your bane...

Dawn FLINGS more of the potion.

THE ANIMAL SCREAM SOUNDS AGAIN. A LASH, AS IF FROM A WHIP, SLASHES ACROSS DAWN'S FACE -- the flesh splits wide.

It is your nettles and your scouring

heat. It is the blade that cuts the

skin from your flesh...

A LOUD WIND begins, whipping Dawn's hair. The wind SCREAMS.

ALL THE PICTURES AND DECORATIONS FALL OFF THE WALLS.

ALL THE WINDOWS BLOW OUT.

Dawn is huddled in a corner. Her clothes are torn, her face and body are bloodied -- more LASH MARKS ALL OVER HER.

The wind is howling and whipping everything around the room.

She has been chanting over this noise for a long time.

DAWN

(shouting hoarsely)

I cast you out with every prayer from

every god that walks the earth or

crawls beneath.

She flings more potion.

ANOTHER SCREAM, MORE ANGUISHED.

Something unseen GRABS DAWN'S HEAD AND SLAMS IT BACK INTO WALL, OVER AND OVER, as she continues:

I cast you out with the strength of

those who love me. I cast you out

with the strength I have inside me--

DAWN SPITS BLOOD FROM HER MOUTH...

The WIND BLOWS LOUDER!

And I cast you out into the void!

And she THROWS the entire container of potion.

WE HEAR HORRIBLE DEATH NOISES.

That's right! Die, you bastard!

THE WALLS ARE SUDDENLY SPLASHED, EXLODED-ONTO WITH BLOOD, THICK CLOTS OF IT UP TO HEAD-HIGH. THEN IT VANISHES, SUCKED AWAY, AS THE DEATH-SCREAMS RATTLE AWAY TO NOTHING.

And it is QUIET. The wind has stopped. Everything stops blowing around.

Dawn, realizing she's won, collapses to the ground.

The LIGHT CHANGES... suddenly there's a golden glow. Dawn looks up, blinking into the light. We see that Dawn's wounds have healed, but her hair is tangled, her face is wet with tears and streaked with blood.

If you want to change things, the first thing you have to change is yourself.

Because if you don’t change yourself, you will take on the world as if it is yourself – and fuck up.

You will really fuck up, because you don’t understand your own dark side.

If you don’t understand your own weird, shitty side.. if you don’t understand the fact that there’s someone in there who will kill your mother, if need be– if you can’t take that on; if you can’t take that on board and realise that Charles Manson and me and you are not much different; that John Wayne Gacy and me and you are not much different – except that he did it.

Y’know, there’s those days when I’m gonna kill that motherfucker over there – but we don’t do it.

But it’s in us, and it’s there.

And so much of this is denial. That we have no dark side.

You know: the hippies, and those lovely people in the rave era who were all on ecstasy – they tried to pretend we have no dark side.

And what happened was they got fucked up by their own dark side.

As will ALWAYS happen.

So let’s kiss our Dark Sides; let’s f**k our Dark Sides.

GET BEHIND ME, SATAN !!Get him down there where he belongs.

And he can tell us stuff. Y’know, that thing’s useful.

But above all: let’s become plex-creatures.

Complex, superplex – be able to take on new personality traits; able to take on new ideas; able to adapt; able to extend our boundaries into what was previously the ‘enemy territory’ – until the point where we become what was once our enemy, and they are us, and there is no distinction."

Eye No

Rain is wet, and sugar is sweet

Clap your hands, and stomp your feet

Everybody, everybody knows

When love calls, U gotta go

(I Know) [repeated in the background]

([Listen, the soul of this song belongs 2 God])

Welcome 2 the Nu Power Generation

The reason my voice is so clear

Is there's no smack in my brain

Hundalasiliah

Ha na na-sha na na na na na na

I know there is a heaven, I know there is a hell

Listen 2 me people, I got a story to tell

I know there was confusion lightnin' all around me

That's when I called his name don't U know he found me

No! Is what Spooky Electric say, it's not OK

But I know love is the only way till my dying day

No - til my dying day I'll be OK

Cuz Lovesexy is the one til my day is done

Hundalasiliah

I know there is a devil because he talks so loud

He makes U do things that your friends do, hang out with the crowd

But my Lord he is so quiet when He calls your name

When U hear it your heart will thunder

U will want 2 hear it every day

No! (people) Is what Spooky Electric say (everbody say)

But don't U know that I know

Love is the only way, til my dying day

No - Til my dying day I'll be OK

Cuz Lovesexy is the 1 til my day is done

Hundalasiliah

Alright y'all, everybody in the house

Here's what I want U 2 do:

Raise your hand up, straight in the air

Swing it 2 the right, savoir faire

Up on the 2, swing on the 4

Everybody on the dancefloor

Sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho

Sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho

Y'all ain't got it together

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead

Raise your hand up, straight in the air

(let's get it up, let's get it up)

Yeah

Say no

(say no) No - if U can't find your way - everybody say

(say no) No - if U're afraid, everybody ain't got it made

(Say no) - if U want a drug other than the God above

No - if U need a drink every single day...

Blow that devil away!

Say 'Yes'

Yes - if U want this feeling called love

(come on 'ya, say)

Yes - if U want it now raise your hand 2 the man above

(Yes) Up on the 2, swing right on the 4

We want everybody 2 open this door!

Say 'No' - if U don't wanna live life under the gun

(I know) We know a better way 2 have some fun

(I know) I know - there is a heaven and a hell

I know there is a heaven and a hell

With the fruit of the vine ((My name's Andre Crabtree III))

Our [innocent] symbol of glory ((I've got more holes than a golf course))
